Try popping the details in webuyanycar or similar Dave, for a trade price.
Depends on condition and service history, my gut feeling would be between £5k -£6k. ES is fairly low spec, GT is better.

Different autobox in the diesel model to my petrol engine. Both are 5 speed with paddle shift and sport mode. No problems with mine, its smooth, and you can always use the paddles if you want to change gear, so best of both worlds. Mine 2008 with 75k miles, just due the fluid change, £75 at a Honda dealer.
Just check it does clank a lot when you put it into reverse or drive when cold, check the changes are smooth, the paddles respond etc. Also whip out the auto box dipstick and check the fluid is clean cherry colour and topped up.
Believe the auto hurts the economy on the diesel quite a lot unless you do a lot of motorway work, around town its pretty low.

I may go autobox (Autobot) next time. My 8th gen EX 6 speed manual tourer is a little clunky compared to my silky smooth 7th but no complaints.
The gear shift is a tad notchy and the clutch is only a tiny bit stiff.
As I have both 7th and 8th gen, I can make weekly comparisons.
Don't get me wrong the 8th gen is a wonderful and amazing car, it's just that my 7th is very good too.
I think the ***embly line workers at Saitama were all having a really good day when they put together my 7th gen Accord.
It would be interesting to see what more 8th gen auto owners think about them but they're a bit like sunny days in Yorkshire, too few of them.
